Team Zappi’s Club Night

Over the last couple of months there has been a lot of great ideas from you all on what we can do to improve cycling in Oxford.

One of the suggestions has been to run a weekly club night where people can get together on an informal basis to talk about cycling and have a cup of tea/hot chocolate, or even a slice of pizza/panini.

With this in mind I have great pleasure in announcing that Team Zappi’s club night will be run held every Tuesday night from 6 till 9 at the cafe, starting Tuesday the 2nd of February.

At our first get together, we will be running through the upcoming races and organising travel arrangements for the first event at Hog Hill on the 6th for Feb.

So see you at Zappi’s cafe’.
Ciao

Btw Is most like to be ….

Spot the difference….BIANCHI BIKES, COPPI, GIMONDI…RICCO’?


and

and

Three photos same bike the great “Bianchi”, so much history from Faust Coppi to Felice Gimondi.
When I turn pro in 1981 the “Bianchi” team was the best team, they had champions as Silvano Contini, Tommy Prim…and when today I saw the photo with Riccardo Ricco’ I felt something was wrong…

I know Felice Gimondi I lived (and payed rent) in one of his houses during my two season at Metauro Mobili- Pinarello 1983-4 and He is the class and serious athlete in one great rider winning Tour and Giro, with only one problem…racing at the same time with Eddy Merckx.

So why now that is one of the managers at “Bianchi” have to pose with the greatest “CHEAT” of modern days? why toghether? Sorry but riders who rides Bianchi they are a different level.
